Today, we learned the sad news of designer Hubert de Givenchy's passing at the age of 91. “It’s the most beautiful job in the world to give happiness to people”, he told AnOther last year on fulfilling his life dream of becoming a designer.

After founding the house in 1952, he championed separates for women, and created looks for Audrey Hepburn – most famously, the little black dress she wore in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's. On his retirement in 1995, the position of artistic director was held by the likes of John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Julien Macdonald, Riccardo Tisci, and most recently Clare Waight Keller. In an archive piece, below, we look back on the influence Tisci's Givenchy in particular had on fashion at large.
